| This work formed part of a multi disciplinary research programme conducted 25 km offshore of Kuujjuarapik in southeastern Hudson Bay (Canadian Arctic). Large differences in salinity and nutrient concentration between brine, ice and under-ice surface water were used to study the different phases observed during the period of melt initiation. We present a discussion of processes governing the flushing of brine and the development of a melt layer below first-year sea ice. Phosphate, nitrate + nitrite and silicic acid distributions within the first 30 cm below the ice are described. Three distinct steps were observed during the melt initiation: a phase of brine rejection; a phase of flushing associated with the development of a buoyant melt layer rich in... |

| We present series of data describing the small-scale structure of the boundary layer stratification in the vicinity and away from a 1.5 m pressure ridge keel. We then analyze the influence of pressure ridges on the spatial and temporal variability of the ocean boundary layer Our experiment was done during the melt in order to use small-scale salinity gradients to study the variability in intensity of mixing processes. High-resolution salinity records sampled at 0+, 25 and 50 cm from the ice-water interface were analyzed at two stations, one at 5 m and the other at 75 m from a pressure ridge keel. We observed that, in the immediate vicinity of the ridge, melting is associated with the periodic development and dissipation of a melt layer in relation with the... |
